  • Publication number: 20180005607
    Abstract: To provide a head-mounted display and an information display apparatus that match the intuition of the user and are excellent in operability. A head-mounted display 1 according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a reception unit 12, an image display element 14, and a display processing unit 132. The reception unit 12 receives an operation signal including information on a relative position of a detection target in contact with an input operation surface 21, which is output from the input device 2. The image display element 14 forms an image V1 presented to a user. The display processing unit 132 causes, based on the operation signal, the image display element 14 to display an operation image V10 with an auxiliary image P indicating a position of the detection target being overlapped on the image V1.
